Very impressed. Sturdy and well made. Lots of activities. Will provide many hours of play for kids. I couldn't find one fault with it. Well worth the money. I would definitely buy again.

For one I LOVE it's made in the good old US of A. Also it's a wooden learning toy that will last well beyond my kids having kids. I have an almost 3 year old and 1 year old twins and ALL three can play and learn at the same time without trampling on each other's space. Well worth the money and a lot better than spending $10 bucks here or there on cheap China made produces that won't last longer than a bad cold.

Got this for granddaughter she is 2 years old and loves it. Emjoyed seeing her face when she saw it. Out will be memorable.

Honest reviews on Anatex Six-Sided Play Cube

This activity center is VERY expensive. It is NOT made with parent or grandparents in mind. It is made for waiting rooms like pediatricians' offices. Too bad. There are lots of activity centers/play cubes on the market aimed at parents and grandparents, and most are far less expensive than this Anatex model, but they are NOT as stimulating or sturdy, nor do they offer as many different activities. I have four Grandchildren and they can all play with the cube at the same time. They seem to enjoy the five different activities, the colorful beads, the grinding of the gears, and moving through the mazes. Yes, this cube is very expensive, but some purchases are easier to justify than others.

It is fun to see several kids playing with this toy at once. We adults are especially happy because this toy does not end up in the children's mouths. The one thing this large toy lacks is casters on the bottom, which would make it easier to move.

Its cheap , fairly simple and entertaining for kids and young adults such as myself. The directions were written in japanese but it was easy to figure out with the pictures. The package consist of a speaker , battery pack , assortment of knobs and the circuit board ready to attach the speaker and battery pack to. Nothing has to be soldered it all clicks together and the knobs attach with a small eye glasses style screwdriver. Its not a quality radio but it kept me busy for a half an hour and entertained for a few hours after and now I have an extra radio for emergencies.

The device went together well. The box it came in doubles as an 'enclosure' for the finished product (neat!). Picks up radio stations very well in our area and sounds is very nice considering no more than what it was intended for. Our kids love it and like to show it off to their friends but more importantly, it gets used daily. Please note, while this can be a very educational product, the instructions were in like Japanese or something -no one in our family speaks or reads Japanese. This means, aside from a few photos in the directions provided, most was completely useless. This causes the "educational value" to be only equal to that parent or whom ever was helping their child assemble the device. OF course there is at least some educational value in the assembly, alone but would have been just awesome if it had English directions and information included! Durability? Well, it is encased in cardboard what can I say. But it is holding up very well, considering. Overall, we love it because the kids love. Had fun putting it together, daughter learned a few things and she really enjoys "what she created" -that speaks for itself. Even though it has the shortfalls in documentation, still highly recommended.

This is a very cute and well made toy but the shipping costs were practically more than the cost of the item itself. I went ahead and got it becuase my niece has a ladybug "theme" in her room and it was a unique gift to add to her ladybug collection but if it wasn't for that the shipping fee would have made me look elsewhere.

The microscope itself is pretty solid. The included 25x eyepiece, which is needed to reach 1000x, doesn't fit the scope securely as far as I can tell. There may be some way to do it, but the instructions won't help you there. If you're like me and try to do it anyway, be prepared to grab a magnet to fish up the tiny (TINY) screw that holds the 10x eyepiece in place. For the 4x and 10x objective lenses, you can use cheapo slides, stacked 2 high. This is good enough to check out plasma cells flying around, hair structure, fly wings and other commonly available things that strike your nerdy fancy. As a casual hobby microscope, this thing is totally worth it.

HOWEVER: The 40x objective can't focus that high above the stage. You'll need thin (.8mm or less) or depression slides, which are slightly more expensive, and slips in order to really get in tight for microbes, amoebae, and carbon fiber robot building (you should probably have a pro 'scope for that, anyway). It shouldn't deter you from buying, but be sure to add the right slides/supplies to your order.

Also, if the portability is a seller for you, I'll add that there is clearly a battery compartment in this model. However, and I'll concede that I may just be stupid, I can't figure out how to get that bad boy open.

EDIT: 6 months later, I found myself in a situation that required the use of the battery, and I decided to go for broke. Pliers remove the cap easily, and the fastener beneath the cap is sturdy enough that it won't cause damage. Disregard my portability complaint.

Great customer service and product. I received the microscope on time, however the ocular piece was defective as it would not remain intact due to threading misallignment by manufacturer. Although Amazon mistakenly offered to give me a refund inc s&h without contacting the seller, assuming Amscope would not be able to replace it, Amscope had contacted me immediately regarding the issue, once my disappointed feedback was posted. Within 2 days, I received a new microscope at excellent condition and free s&h. No stress involved! I just need to send the previous one back, also s&h prepaid by the Amscope. Gladly, I removed the negative remarks.

Re: microscope, all metal body. Knobs are not metal, but overall, very sturdy and will be great for a small classroom of students. The movements are very smooth...great buy!

I enjoy this microscope. It has everything that I would need and then some. It's an excellent price for something of this quality in my opinion. Everything works just as expected... but I wouldn't necessarily use a plastic locking mechanism in my fine lens TBH.

Honest reviews on AmScope 40X-1000X All-Metal Optical Glass Lenses Cordless LED

I purchased this product as a Christmas gift for my child. We did a lot of comparison shopping and had a lot of fun selecting this one because it was mid-range in price and appeaered to be a good quality item.

When the scope arrived, we opened it right away. That is when our dissapointment began. The scope is not "all metal." The body is indeed metal, but many of the other parts, including the casing around the light, are not.

Nevertheless, the unit appeared sturdy enough, so we decided to give it a whirl with some slides I had purchased as well. We got the light to work, but every time we even slightly moved the unit to insert a slide or adjust the view, the light flickered on and off.

We promptly contacted the seller, who seemed happy enough to take the unit back. He sent me a mailing label and apologized for my inconvenience. That is when the fun started. This seller only refunded part of the cost of the unit. When I emailed him to ask why, he informed me that he had been able to get the light to work for five hours continuously by plugging it in at his shop. Because of this, he charged me a $20 shipping charge. Of course, I also got the light to work when the unit was just sitting there, but this is not a lamp, it is a precision instrument.

We then proceeded to exchange emails abour this all day. I am not sure how much this guy makes an hour. Given his poor customer service ethic and obvious overpaying for postage, I am sure it is not alot. But I am also sure it cost him more than $20 of his time to exchange emails with me and insult me by insinuating that I was lying about the defective condition of the microscope.

Bottom line, this is not a good product or a good seller. I highly recommend moving on.

Very happy with this purchase. I received it within a reasonable time. The price is great for what I got. I am a home school mom and will be able to take advantage of my daughters natural curiosity to explore. The instructions could be a lot better. It was confusing to change the lens out. However, I was able to find information on line that helped me. Overall... Great product for a great price. Best of all, she will be able to use this thru High School. I would recommend purchasing some prepared slides to get started. Not the Lab quality scopes that I was used to working with in the Lab, But this is a great quality started scope that gets the job done.

My son received this toy from his grandmother for his first birthday and loved it. He and his four year old brother play with it everyday making towers, caves, mountains, fortresses, boats and beds. It is amazingly well made; it might be the only toy yet they haven't broken in their rough housing and even as small as it is it adds beauty wherever it is in our home. It might also be their only toy that they like as much now as when they received it.

I much prefer receiving one well made, beautiful toy that allows for open ended play than one hundred lesser items. It is better for a child's mind, building a peaceful home, and I might say for their character as well.

We purchased this toy on Amazon. I had seen these online when searching for wood toys for my one year old. The colors are bright and she really likes the toy. There are only two things that I would say are down sides for the toy. It is not the "weight" I thought it would be. The wood pieces are quite light...good for her being able to pick up and maneuver, but I'm afraid it might break if handled too roughly. And secondly it is not completely sanded on the inside. I thought they would be smooth, but ours are rough on the inner side of the arches which makes them a little difficut to slide into each other at least for a young child.

Overall I would buy it again.

Honest reviews on Grimm's Spiel und Holz 6 Piece Rainbow Stacker

The description says "The 6 pieces nested measure 6.75" wide x 3.6" high x 2.5" thick/deep (17.1 x 9.1 x 6.4 cm)." However, I just received mine and it is the "small" version.

The barcode that the rainbow is packaged in also says it is the LARGE, but I measured it (with measuring tape, to be exact), and it is only 4" wide x 2" high x 1.5" thick/deep. It is TINY! It almost fits in the palm of my hand. It is definitely NOT the same size as the rainbows shown in the photos.

I am extremely disappointed because 1: I paid extra to get the "large" version, and 2: this was supposed to be my little girl's birthday gift.

I don't know if it's amazon's mistake or the seller ("Natural Family Shop" Naomi T. Binkley), but I am sending it back immediately. Unfortunately, I can only get a refund instead of a replacement with the correct item. I'm so upset :(

My daughter just received this for her 3rd birthday and both she and my 6-year-old son LOVE it! There are so many ways to play with these stacking as a tall tower, trying to balance layers upside down, creating a snacking S shape, mixing in with regular building blocks (we have the Beka blocks made of Maple great set), using the orange and purple curves as tunnels for Brio trains (the other colors are too short for Brio), turning them into slides and bridges for dollhouse dolls (such as the Plan Toys wooden dolls). It is such a great, open-ended toy! Also the colors are bold and beautiful making you want to reach out and touch it to play. I now want to purchase more of these sets because they are so open ended and great for children of all ages. And I can see how multiple sets could be used together.

I saw this in Hong Kong where I had promised my six year old a couple of toys if he had been good. Unfortunately, we got the version where the instructions are all in Chinese. But no problem, he could follow the drawings and complete them. The pieces are fairly well made and the water propelled devices do work. So of them need a higher gear ratio than what's in the design to get the vehicle moving. Overall it's great fun, and my 6 year old is having a blast learning about gears, drives, ratios, and water power!

I bought this product for my engineering lab, where light circuit assembly and inspection is performed (down to 0201 sized parts). I have used all the major brands in the past (leica, Bausch /Lomb, Olympus, etc) and this unit performed comparably if not identically with respect to field of view, image quality, eyepiece adjustment, and construction quality/ finish. From a pcb assembly standpoint, this scope is an excellent value and I feel like I got more than I paid for, which is rarely the case when going for lower cost gear.

Better than burried treasure, this fill and spill is a real find. Each creature has a unique feature and is brightly colored. Perfect for tiny hands, each day we find something different to enjoy. Some days the rattle of the octopuss is a favorite, and some days the squeak of the starfish makes us smile. And putting the pieces in and out of the little aquarium is endlessly entertaining. Everything seems well stitched and looks like it will last.

I am giving this as a giftso I have yet to open it. It looks like a great toy, well made and nice packaging. It looks age appropriate and the colors and soft materials will definitely attract my nephew.

I am unsure what the "product description size" by amazon is referring toas the product box is 12x8x6so the toy appears to be 7.5 x 6. It is smaller than I thought according to the GIANT picture and product dimensions.

Best Deals for Melissa & Doug Deluxe Fishbowl Fill & Spill Soft Baby Toy

This toy never became a hit in our household because the opening is too narrow. It was hard for my daughter to squish toys into it, and definitely too hard to "spill" them out of it-I'd have to pull them out for her, and that got boring for both of us. They'd wind up just sitting there, stuck.

Eventually, we gave up on the bowl and she just played with the little creatures in her playpen. The creatures are super cute... but I could have bought things like that cheaper if I were going to just use them as stuffed animals. What sold it to me was the "fishbowl" aspect, which looks great, but doesn't work in execution.

Honest reviews on Melissa & Doug Deluxe Fishbowl Fill & Spill Soft Baby Toy

The little toys are cute and my 4 month old loves them, but the top of the fishbowl is too narrow to "spill" the toys out as the name implies. In fact, I had a hard time getting the toys out through the top. Maybe an older baby can get them out. The toys are machine washable, which is a plus, and they make cute sounds so they keep my baby's attention.

Received as a gift when DS was 4 months old. He didn't get into it until he was about 7 months old, but now at almost 9 months, he LOVES this toy. He specifically seems to love the starfish. Maybe it's the textured bottom that he likes to teeth on, or the fact that he can hold it from so many different angles. He enjoys the rest of them also, but the starfish is definitely a favorite.

The bowl itself is very well-designed for baby hands. DS can grab onto the sides easily because they're made to be flap-like.

I also like the fact that the toys inside are machine washable. Have already washed them several times and they have held up well. Other toys have lost their noise-making ability, or worn out in the wash, but no problems with these.

Other reviews mentioned that it's tough to get the toys out of the bowl. Probably true, but hasn't been a huge issue for us.

I purchased this crocodile for my 13 month old baby boy, for Christmas. It is a beautiful toy. I keep it in our leaving room. I love the vibrant colors and the fact it is a very "nature friendly" product, safe for my baby. I also love the fact that when he grows out of it, the crocodile can be removed from the base and just be used as a pillow :) My son is still a bit too young to be interested in it, and he does not walk yet, but he often climbs on it and if I sit him in it, he is just rocking and happy. It may take him a few more weeks but it is coming. It is also very well designed and built, the different fabrics are nice and the overall quality is more than great. The wood is also wonderful, so much better than plastic!!! Anyway, I would purchase it again. It is simply a gorgeous toy!

We bought this for our 9 month old son (disclaimer: he is in the 97% for height and weight so please do take that into account) for Christmas. He LOVES it. He fits the rocker fine and can lean back on the tail if he likes (although he is fine grabbing the handles). It is very low on the ground, so if he falls off, the impact would be minimal. He is strong enough to rock it back and forth even at his age. It is a beautiful, well-built toy. Feel confident buying it.
